Panadol Junior Voor Kinderen Van 3 Maanden Tot 1 Jaar (Paracetamol)

Paracetamol works by inhibiting central cyclooxygenase enzymes, mainly COX‑2, which lowers the production of prostaglandins that trigger pain signals and raise body temperature. This central action reduces fever and eases pain without significant anti‑inflammatory activity at the peripheral sites.

The exact dose for Panadol Junior is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the infant’s age, weight, and clinical condition. Caregivers should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the dosing device supplied with the product.

Paracetamol is generally considered compatible with breastfeeding when used at recommended doses, as only small amounts pass into breast milk. Use during pregnancy should follow a physician’s guidance; it is commonly used when needed, but the prescriber will assess risk versus benefit.

The primary alternative for infant fever is ibuprofen oral suspension, which has anti‑inflammatory properties and is approved for children six months and older. Paracetamol, as in Panadol Junior, is preferred for younger infants and when anti‑inflammatory action is not required, offering a well‑established safety profile at appropriate doses.

Store the oral liquid below 25 °C in its original container, protecting it from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use and discard any product that appears discoloured, cloudy, or past its expiry date.

The product is given orally using the calibrated dosing syringe or dropper provided. The caregiver should measure the exact dose prescribed, administer it directly into the infant’s mouth, and ensure the child swallows the liquid fully.

The most serious risk is liver injury (hepatotoxicity) which can occur with accidental overdose or prolonged high‑dose use. Rare severe reactions include Stevens‑Johnson syndrome and anaphylaxis. Prompt medical attention is required if signs of liver dysfunction or allergic reaction appear.

Infants with known hypersensitivity to paracetamol or any excipients in the formulation should not use the product. It is also contraindicated in children with severe liver disease or those who have received another paracetamol‑containing product within the short‑term dosing interval.
